Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny). Only Edgers like Rose can easily travel from one world to the next, but they never truly belong in either.
Rose thought if she practiced her magic, she could build a better life for herself. But things didn’t turn out how she planned, and now she works a minimum wage, off the books job in the Broken just to survive. Then Declan Camarine, a blueblood noble straight out of the deepest part of the Weird, comes into her life, determined to have her (and her power).
But when a terrible danger invades the Edge from the Weird, a flood of creatures hungry for magic, Declan and Rose must work together to destroy them—or they’ll devour the Edge and everyone in it . . .
When I found a copy of ON THE EDGE by Ilona Andrews in my mailbox, I went a little nuts. Ok. A lot nuts. I love the authors Kate Daniels Series so much that I have been chomping at the bit for a peek into their newest series The Edge .
After devouring ON THE EDGE, I have two words for you: More. Please. I need more. I might not ever recover if I don’t get more of this series.
I shivered, I shook and I salivated. Rose is the ultimate heroine. She is strong and fierce! A woman every female should want to emulate.
Declan is almost too good to be true. Almost. He is totally want worthy. I want him. WANT. HIM. Smart, gorgeous and powerful, who WOULDN’T want Declan?
If you enjoy fantasy with romance or romance with fantasy, you’ll love ON THE EDGE. The world Ilona Andrews has created is believable and vivid. I feel as though I know how to get there. I don’t even need my GPS.
One of the gifts of the writing team, Ilona Andrews, is their masterful world building skills. Although the reader knows The Edge doesn’t exist in reality, Andrews constructs The Edge so vividly it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility.
Another gift of Andrews is their character development. Major and minor characters are well-rounded and authentic. With personality traits, individual quirks and distinctions each character is unique and original.
I highly recommend ON THE EDGE by Ilona Andrews. I can’t imagine anyone not loving this book, this series or this author! Go buy your copy TODAY!

This book sounds like one of Karen Moning’s books…I’ll have to check her books out. Thanks for posting this.
I love Moning’s books too.
Since I don’t want to be fined by the FTC, I should tell you all that I received ON THE EDGE as a gift from the publisher. The publisher did not in any way require me to blog about the book. They also didn’t compel me to say positive things about the book.
Bottom line, if I receive a book from an author or a publisher and I don’t like it, I don’t blog about it.
I also want to say that the FTC can suck it.
I just bought this the other day, but it is on a long queue of other books… I hope to get to it before December. *sigh*
READ IT!! NOW!!
